A friend of mine jumped off this Feb off the GW, he struggled w/ depression and lost.

Some compassion fellas, things can't be too good for him if he felt the need to climb up a bridge.

If you've ever known and cared for someone w/ mental illness, if your brain chemistry changed, there are so many things we don't understand.

I hope you manage your inconvenience next time w/ the thought that this is someone's son, brother, friend...how would you feel if he was yours?

 

I never bought the whole suicide thing. Im sorry. I am. Life is a bitch. Ive went through hardships most people couldnt even imagine. I never wanted to off myself. Like they've always said "coward's way out."

 

Agreed! Gotta carry a positive outlook nowadays.

 

I dunno, no matter how hard things get suicide isn't a great answer for it. I fear death, once your gone it's for good. I don't know about you guys but forever is a very long time to me and I want to get the most out of my life before I go wether I am living the good life or struggling to make ends meet.

 

Mental illness is one thing, and someone giving up is another.

Apples and Oranges.

 

That is if you believe there is such a thing as mental illness. Just like many people believe anorexia and bulimia are actual sicknesses. Everyone gets depressed. Just that some people dont have the balls to pick themselves up. Now, dont put words in my mouth and say that I dont believe in mental illness, I absolutely do, but those people dont kill themselves. The ones that do IMHO just gave up.

 

Well, I'm not here to debate mental illness..let's just say there's more than just giving up and less than being controlled by chemistry, genes, whatever.

 

I herd on 1010wins that Dr. Kevorkian got outa jail yesterday. He should go see him so he doesnt block traffic..
